Everest Base Camp Trek: Tucker and Team Check in from Gorak Shep

Mark Tucker checking in today from Gorak Shep, at about 17,000’ feet. We had a nice hike today with the wonderful weather holding on for us - feeling lucky! We pushed on after we had lunch and got the summit of Kala Patar just over 18,000’ feet, right around sunset. The big “E” popped it’s top out a couple of times, beautiful colors with an alpine glow, windy, and cold. I am standing outside right now and it is chilly up here! I am looking at about 500 million stars, just a beautiful night aside from cold. Everybody is tucked in and we are going to get up and rock-n-roll for Base Camp tomorrow. That’s the plan, hope it all holds true. All the best to everybody and we will be keeping you posted! RMI Guide Mark Tucker & Team

Hello from warm,sunny,Tampa. A special hello to Nancy from me, Mom and Dell.  I am sitting here with them sharing the blog entries and the SPECTACULAR pictures.  Cant believe you are actually seeing them with your own eyes! What an experience. Mom says:“Awesome, I can’t wait to tell my bridge group”. They are both doing well.
We are so impressed by you and your groups accomplishment of getting to the elevation you are at. We are also inspired by the courage and tenacity to even choose this adventure as a goal. Stay warm and know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
